Brian Rose @brosenyc.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Berlin, Prenzlauerberg, 1985 – © Brian Rose Not sure of the exact date and location. I did several walks through East Berlin between 1985 and 1989 before the Wall came down. 000

Brian Rose @brosenyc.bsky.social · 25/09/2026East Berlin, 1989 – © Brian Rose Early spring in Prenzlauerberg. Seven months later, the Wall opened. 000
Brian Rose @brosenyc.bsky.social · 23/09/2026East Berlin, 1985-89 – © Brian Rose I crossed over to East Berlin several times. At least twice, I was taken to a small interrogation room and quizzed about my 4x5 camera. I told them I was interested in Schinkel architecture. I need some help identifying this street. Anyone recogonize this? 010
Brian Rose @brosenyc.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Berlin, 4 January 1990 – © Brian Rose The Wall was now open, and people poured across several newly created checkpoints between East and West. I photographed the no man’s land between the inner and outer walls, empty, while hundreds crossed the border behind me. 000
Brian Rose @brosenyc.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Berlin, 1985 – © Brian Rose Potsdamer Platz, once at the heart of the city, was a wasteland in 1985. Every so often a tour bus pulled up and people would gawk at the Wall a few minutes and then buy trinkets and postcards at this kiosk. 000

Brian Rose @brosenyc.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Berlin 2019 – © Brian Rose After the Wall opened on November 9 1989, the world came to Berlin to experience this moment when it seemed, fleetingly, as it turned out, that a new world was possible. 000

Brian Rose @brosenyc.bsky.social · 01/08/2026Greenpoint, Brooklyn, 2026 Had the Jack Toolin over for a print exchange. I have always loved his pictures of the Financial District, so now I've got one. He picked out one of of my Richmond Monument Avenue images. We made the prints right here on my Epson P900. 000
Brian Rose @brosenyc.bsky.social · 26/07/2026Trenton, New Jersey, 2026 – © Brian Rose An architectural gem. What I love is the intentionality of it. The careful placement of off-the-shelf elements – even decorative quoins on the corners. The green stucco and yellow trim. The oval windows, faux window mullions. All in perfect balance. 000
Brian Rose @brosenyc.bsky.social · 24/07/2026Trenton, New Jersey, 2026 – © Brian Rose Today I was in Trenton, New Jersey, scouting a building I'm shooting for an architect. We were walking around together looking for angles, when I got somewhat off the track and started taking pictures of this little architectural gem. 000
Brian Rose @brosenyc.bsky.social · 21/07/2026Berlin, 1985 – © Brian Rose This corner was the location of the Nazi SS-Gestapo headquarters. Rubble from bombed buildings was piled up on the site. You could rent a little car without a license and drive the winding dirt paths through the "hills." 000
